Declarations
:
: The Institutional Ethics Committee of the Fundación Valle de Lili reviewed and approved the research protocol for this study (Protocol No. 1473). Our study fully adheres to the relevant Colombian regulations: Article 11 of Resolution 8430 (1993) issued by the Colombian Ministry of Health stipulates that studies presenting no risks to participants are exempt from obtaining informed consent. Our research aligns with this classification. Furthermore, Article 16, paragraph 1 of the same resolution empowers the ethics committee of the research institution to grant an exemption from obtaining informed consent when justified, specifically in the case of research devoid of risks. This study is retrospective, no clinical chart review took place and does not contain any individual data, therefore no patient consent to participate was needed, and no administrative permissions were required to access raw data.
